Brown Eye Boy Poem by Aldo Kraas

Brown Eye Boy



Brown eye boy wake up, God brought me to you
To arrive at you place takes time
Because I leave the other side of the city
Brown eye boy
I want to show my feelings towards you
Without restriction
That sadness
Breaks my heart
Brown eye boy
Time doesn't wait for anybody
Time has no ownership
Time doesn't belong to anybody or waits for anybody
Time keeps spining like the tire of a car
You will need to make up your mind when you want to have a rest
You will need to decide when you are going to bed
Sometimes it is good to go out for walks to get some fresh air
Healing will take place in your life some day
Time to see the wonders of the world
Is my hope for you
Time for you to appreciate me will come
Now you just have to walk with me
Not saying a word
Time is not an enemy
Or a friend
Time to be born again you will feel
When God will come
Time to appreciate life
You will do
Brown eye boy it is dangerous to gamble with life
You are too young to know if love really exists
Our love is irreplaceable
We are sharing it for a little while
Brown eye boy
Your embrace is so strong
Your silence
Is so sad
I am dreamimg that you will wake up in my dreams
Let the brown eye boy
Not live in silence any more
His fears and pains
I feel in his eyes right now
I wished I could find a way to take his sadness away
But if you keep silent and don't communicate with anybody
How will they kow how you are feeling brown eye boy?
Poverty strikes every one and even you brown eye boy
You don't need to feel ashamed of it
Because it is not your fault that you are poor

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This poem is so heartbreaking. I can only imagine the pain and embarrassment this young boy feels for circumstances beyond his control. So sad that one so young has to deal with the weight of the world when childhood should be about carefree fun. Touched me deeply.
